' 2 claims. (o1. 15o-1) Y r iThis invention relates to a new rubber hydrochloride bag,

There are. two general types of 'rubber hydrochloride nlm 'o n lthe market. One type is the of the plasticized and unplasticized films, two

types of bags have been designed. One type of .bag is theduple'x or double-wall bag. Thisv comprises a bag of Aunplasticized nlm on'the inside and a separate bag of plasticized nlm on'the outside. The'two bags are generally united only at the bottom. The plasticized nlfn of which the outside bag is made givesthe product the dur-,-

ability and strength characteristic ofthe plas-.9.

bag.

To overcome this objection, there has been: de-

The usual plasticizers are butyl viously been obtained by uniting the two plies stearate and dibutyl phthalate. These may be of nlm, the two sheets of nlm comprising each used alone or in admixture.

A bag formed of plasticized rubber hydro-` chloride nlm and unplasticized rubber hydrochloride nlm coalesced together at the bottom in anat seam, all seams of the `bag being formed by `coalescence of the nlm material, the plasticized nlm being outside the unplasticized nlm and the veloped a bag made of laminated nlm', the inner p1y or which is unmasncized nlm 'and the outer ply of which is plasticized nlm. Such. a bag has the high visibility of a single wall bag.' vThere have been objections to this type of bag, particularly because of the -levelopment of 'leaks at Y Apparently the nlm cracks or lis weakened byfolding this laminated sheet.
